Allied Capital Provides Funds for Management-led Buyout of EarthColor

Kashan believes that EarthColor’s success is attributable to its emphasis on creating long-term partnerships with its customers; a low-cost and flexible production platform, and the ability to increase a customer’s speed to market, therefore generating higher returns per marketing dollar.

“Allied Capital’s decision to invest in EarthColor reflects our high-degree of confidence in Robert Kashan and his skilled management team,” said John Fruehwirth, Managing Director of Allied Capital. “Robert and his team have created a unique, market-leading business, positioning EarthColor as a significant printer with a low-cost operating platform, and the capacity and flexibility to handle large print jobs with short-lead times for their large blue-chip customers. We believe this combination will allow the company to continue building on its success as it pursues growth opportunities.”
